Pecan Torte

Recipe Description

A Pecan Torte is a rich, multilayered caramelized blend of toasted pecans, buttery syrups, almonds and topped on a golden sweet crust. I commonly serve this pecan torte with a scoop of Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top. In other words, you’ll find this to be a scrumptious way to satisfy your sweet tooth!

There are many different variations of the Pecan Torte recipe some of which include the following ingredients; apples, chocolate, bourbon, fudge, peanut butter, coffee, etc. This recipe however, is my favorite version of the classic Pecan Torte which I love making for my friends and family in heart shaped tins. This is the perfect dessert that will keep your indulged family and friends asking for more!
